DO YOU SEE THIS MACHINE?! This is a new machine at the gym where I train that is called ”Booty Builder” and it’s really awesome! This forces the butt to really work and I love it. I have previously struggled with having a barbell on the hips or lying in a leg curl over the stomach, and it tends to result in blue hipbones. If I use the weight that I want on the barbell and then have it on my hips I get bruises on the hip bone to the rod pressing so hard and my hip bones have a tendency to ”go out” a bit when I lie down like that. This machine is really good that way. 😀

Yesterday I had a really great evening. Loppi organized a really nice christmas evening at the Clarion Sign Hotel. First we had a cozy time inside the suite and went through the 2016’s highlight moments and what the plans for what 2017 is offering. Then we went down to the restaurant and ate a 3 course dinner. This was the best event I have been on with Loppi so far. It was really fun and I got to know several of my blog ”colleagues” much better and everyone is really so nice and pleasant even in real life!

I got a prize too, like ”The year 2016 Youtube Rocket” because I’ve got almost 23,000 subscribers in less than six months. SO much fun and I’m incredibly grateful! I am also grateful and happy that the people I work with have noticed how much time and energy I spend on my channel to get better and develop. <3 Speaking of YouTube, I will upload one video every day right up until Christmas Eve. I look forward to it ,, I think it is much easier to talk with you in moving format than in writing. I hope that you are equally excited as me! 😀

Recently, I have become completely dependent on tacos. Or not the tacos, but the guacamole! And what suits better to guacamole unless tacos? Notice that I said what fits to guacamole and not what guacamole suit to… 😉

This is my favorite recipe for guacamole:

Guacamole

3 avocadosA little lemon juice3/4 tablespoon sambal oelek1 clove garlicMIX!! I do not know the exact measurements but really I usually just pour in and then season to taste.

Speaking of something else, do you see what a beautiful marble dining table, we’ve fixed? Ooooh, I love it! I will show it better in a future post!

Hello everyone! I have just come home from the gym, after doing 60 minutes of cardio. This was really superduper hard but at the same time so much fun! I am completely exhausted and feel ready to curl up on the couch and watch a movie now. I definitely think you should try the workout that I did today (read below), what is extra good when doing intervals on the bike is that it really can be adjusted individually, you decide completely self where your max is, what speed, resistance, etc. that fit you best. SUPER!

60 minutes tough cardio on a bike

10 minutes warm up. Start by bike easy to get your legs going. Then you increase the resistance (it becomes harder to pedal around) a little all the time. It should not be heavier than you can pedal pretty fast, imagine a quick jog!

Now the intervals begins!

4 minutes. Increase the resistance a bit. It will be heavier than your warmup, but you should still be able to tread the pedals quickly! Here you sprint, fast pedals for 4 minutes

4 minutes. Now it will be heavy uphill. (Increase resistance so that it becomes really heavy). Here we go Tabata. 20 seconds fastest you can! 10 seconds normal speed to unwind. then run 20 seconds the fastest you can. Repeat 8 times.

2 minutes. Turn up the resistance so much that you can’t get the pedals around if you’re sitting down. Now you get forced to stand up and you should run the bike as fast as you can for 2 minutes in standing uphill.

This is the first block. Now you can ride on light resistance, might stretch, and drink water. 2 minutes. Then, you run the above again and repeat 4 times, this takes about 60 minutes all in all, do not forget to stretch afterwards!
